*****Thread resurrection! *****
Has anyone ever MAMEd one of these? I can get the cab for $50 and have alot of MAME experience. Just not sure about the wheel.
I know there are ones that are 360 and ones that arent and problems associated
Any tips/advice?
See the driving cab info thread in the driving cab sub-forum.

You could wire it up to a U-HID without too much trouble, but would lose force feedback.
It uses a standard Happ ffb driving setup that was used in most popular games not made by Sega.
People have interfaced it by using an older potentiometer based Logitech wheel and a servo amplifier (for the force feedback) with varying results.
A few have been happy with it, more have been disappointed because they have to turn centering feedback way down to prevent the wheel from slingshotting back and forth past center if not held.
Personally, I'd get it and drop a Logitech Driving Force GT or G27 in it, and sell the Happ parts.
Not as powerful, but least hassle & most compatibility.
EDIT: Forgot to mention the hard to find Immersion USB arcade board that would pretty much make this plug and play.
The hard part is finding one. Global VR won't sell you one unless you have a core to return for repair.
Their stock was depleted by companies using them for to interface their high end sim wheels.
